These I Can Read books are a guilty pleasure in the bookstore, man. They prove to me that I can in fact read.

Old school laser beams look like they have physical force behind them, new school heat waves look more subtle and more melty. If Superman hits you with the laser vision, it should burrow and incinerate you in one spot, like a focused laser.

I really wonder if there's going to be some exposition about Zod's second armored suit. The bulkier one he has on Earth could have greater capabilities compared to the more regular one we see everyone else has.

After seeing Iron Man 3, I will say that I think the only contendor against Shannon for villain of the year will be Cumberbatch

I hope they've got this right I really do. Between TASM last year and Iron Man 3 this year, i'm just tired of the villain plot being the one thing that lets the movie down.

Then, you can either decide this version isn't for you and stop watching. OR you can decide to enjoy it for what it is - an elseworlds tale.

I think Michael Shannon can bring it. Pretty inspired casting by Snyder to be honest.

IM3 Spoilers. Ben Kingsleys Mandarin was kinda designed to be this big fakeout though. It was pretty clever considering all the marketing of the film centering on building him up. Unless you're referring to Guy Pearce's Killian, in which case yeah, a bit weak. I'm still laughing at when he breathed fire like a dragon though. A friend and I have been getting kicks out've that for a few days.

No doubt about this.

That is who I was talking about, but yeah the comedy in the film was gold
